Companies Ignore Intrapreneurs at Their Own Peril
Summary
Recently, I've observed a notable shift in the feedback I receive. Typically, my e-mails come from aspiring entrepreneurs or seasoned business owners looking for advice on startups, financing, employee relations, leadership, and policy issues. However, a growing number are now from employees at medium-sized and large companies, frustrated by an environment they find "intellectually stifling" and lacking in creative challenges.The Rise of Intrapreneurs
These individuals are known as "intrapreneurs." Their numbers are increasing, which should alarm employers who have either been unaware or dismissive of their presence. Intrapreneurs are employees with an entrepreneurial mindset, constantly seeking ways to improve products and processes. They are innovators and creative thinkers but are often seen by management as troublemakers because they push traditional boundaries.The Misunderstanding of Intrapreneurs
Many large companies resist independent thinkers and expect employees to stick rigidly to their job descriptions. This behavior stifles intrapreneurs, who are satisfied working as employees if their environment supports innovation and creativity, rather than merely rewarding tenure.Nurturing Intrapreneurs
Unfortunately, most big companies fail to cultivate their intrapreneurs, opting instead to enforce strict policies and job descriptions. When I left my last corporate job over a decade ago, it felt like the company was draining my creativity, a sentiment echoed by many intrapreneurs today.A Generational Shift
The concept of intrapreneurship isn't new, but the digital age has birthed a generation of employees seeking entrepreneurial freedom along with the financial security of established companies. Despite the dot-com bust, this mindset persists. Intrapreneurs now populate nearly every midsize to large organization, waiting for opportunities that align with their vision.Embracing Entrepreneurial Thinking
The key to engaging these talented employees is providing an environment where entrepreneurial thought is valued and encouraged. When intrapreneurs are allowed to thrive, the entire organization benefits. We live in an era of ownership, where career satisfaction comes from opportunities to innovate and succeed.Conclusion
